Yoruba nation activist Sunday Igboho has issued a strong warning to any governor who attempts to remove the Olubadan of Ibadanland from the throne.
In a statement attributed to him, Igboho warned that any attempt to remove the traditional ruler could trigger widespread disruption across Oyo State.
“Any governor who attempts to remove Olubadan, we will disrupt everywhere, and they will declare a state of emergency in Oyo State that same day,” he reportedly said.
His remarks have drawn attention to the sensitivity surrounding the Olubadan throne and the importance many people attach to traditional institutions in Yoruba land.
The warning also highlights the potential tension between state governments, traditional rulers and individuals who see themselves as defenders of Yoruba cultural heritage.
However, the circumstances surrounding the reported statement and any official response from the Oyo State Government have not been established in the information provided.
The development has sparked discussions about the relationship between political authority and traditional institutions, as well as the need to resolve disputes through peaceful and lawful means.
